setup

After initial setup, configure autopilot: create an autopilot directory and a prefs.json file

Classes:

Autopilot_Form(*args, **kwargs)	Base class for Autopilot setup forms
Hardware_Form(*args, **kwargs)
Agent_Form([name, parentApp, framed, help, …])
Directory_Form(*args, **kwargs)

Autopilot_Setup(prefs)

Functions:

unfold_values(v)	Unfold nested values from the SetupForm.
make_dir(adir[, permissions])	Make a directory if it doesn’t exist and set its permissions to 0777
make_alias(launch_script[, bash_profile])	Make an alias so that calling autopilot calls autopilot_dir/launch_autopilot.sh

class Autopilot_Form(*args, **kwargs)

Bases: npyscreen.fmForm.Form

Base class for Autopilot setup forms

Each subclass needs to override the create() method to add the graphical elements for the form, typically by using populate_form() with a standardized description from autopilot.prefs , and the NAME attribute. The DESCRIPTION attribute provides title text for the form

PATHS = { 'PILOT': ['AGENT', 'DIRECTORIES', 'COMMON', 'PILOT', 'HARDWARE', 'SCRIPTS'], 'TERMINAL': ['AGENT', 'DIRECTORIES', 'COMMON', 'TERMINAL', 'SCRIPTS']}

Allow different agents to have different paths through setup

onStart()

Add forms by gathering subclasses of Autopilot_Form

next_form_in_path(calling_form: autopilot.setup.setup_autopilot.Autopilot_Form)

unpack_prefs()

Unpack the prefs from the forms and return them complete

Returns

dict - your prefs!

property active_scripts

Get dict of active scripts

Returns

script_commands

Return type

dict - script_name

unfold_values(v)

Unfold nested values from the SetupForm. Called recursively.

Parameters

v (dict) – unfolded values

make_dir(adir, permissions: int = 511)

Make a directory if it doesn’t exist and set its permissions to 0777

Parameters

• adir (str) – Path to the directory

• permissions (int) – an octal integer used to set directory permissions (default 0o777)

make_alias(launch_script: str, bash_profile: Optional[str] = None)

Make an alias so that calling autopilot calls autopilot_dir/launch_autopilot.sh

Parameters

• launch_script (str) – the path to the autopilot launch script to be aliased

• bash_profile (str, None) – Optional, location of shell profile to edit. if None, use .bashrc then .bash_profile if they exist
